Senior Specialist Safety & Environment

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings using

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; can fold minor metadata into short

or drop it. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. The posting includes salary range and benefits description, so we can include Pay and Benefits sections. Schedule? Not mentioned; no schedule info, so omit Schedule. Benefits: they mention comprehensive package, medical, dental, vision, retirement, holidays, etc. So include Benefits. We need sections: About the role (role overview), Responsibilities (Impact And Responsibilities and Primary Activities), Qualifications (Position Qualifications), Preferred Experience And Skills maybe part of Skills? Could have Skills section (Required Skills, Preferred Skills). Requirements? There's a "Requirements" heading later but it's EEO boilerplate; we should drop that as it's boilerplate. The actual qualifications are in Position Qualifications. So we can have Qualifications section. We need to include Pay section with salary range. Benefits section with benefits description. We must not include duplicated lines. Must preserve all substantive info: location, role overview, responsibilities, qualifications, preferred experience, required skills, preferred skills, salary, benefits, maybe note about relocation, visa sponsorship, travel, flexible work arrangements, shift, driving license, hazardous material potential exposure, job posting end date? Those are minor metadata; we can fold into a short

maybe under a "Details" section? But we are only allowed to use headings from the list; we could create a

for misc details not under a heading. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include a short

for location, job posting end date, requisition ID maybe. But we must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Also we must not include application instructions. So we need to strip those. Let's extract substantive content: Location: Rahway, NJ Role Overview: As a core member of the Site Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) team, the Senior Specialist of Safety & Environment will provide vital technical leadership, risk management, and project ownership for operating departments at our Rahway site. This role focuses heavily on identifying, assessing, and mitigating biosafety and industrial hygiene hazards across research, development, and pilot-scale operations. You will partner closely with laboratory and clinical manufacturing departments to design, implement, and maintain compliant biological containment and technical safety solutions. Impact And Responsibilities: You will serve as the site's primary technical resource for biological safety compliance, ensuring daily operations meet site and regulatory standards. By collaborating with scientists, facilities engineering, and site leadership, you will cultivate a robust safety culture, streamline biological material handling, and align biosafety protocols with fast-paced site business priorities. Primary Activities: list of activities (many). We'll need to put them in

• . Position Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree (BS) in Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Biosafety, Industrial Hygiene, Occupational Health & Safety, or a closely related scientific/engineering discipline. A relevant master’s degree is highly preferred. Minimum 8+ years of applied professional experience in EHS, with at least 4+ years dedicated directly to biosafety, biological containment, or laboratory safety within a pharmaceutical, biotechnology, academic research, or clinical environment. Demonstrated expertise in implementing biosafety containment strategies, conducting biological risk assessments, and managing laboratory safety protocols. Hands-on experience with industrial hygiene monitoring practices (airborne particulate sampling, chemical exposure assessment, and ventilation measurements). Outstanding technical writing and verbal skills; proven ability to translate complex microbiological and chemical risk data into clear, actionable advice for non-EHS stakeholders. Critical thinking and analytical skills to resolve complex containment and process safety challenges. Self-motivated and able to lead site-wide biosafety initiatives independently while escalating program-level decisions appropriately. Preferred Experience And Skills: Hands-on experience with biosafety technical work in laboratory and pilot-scale settings (biosafety risk assessments, containment recommendations, biosafety cabinet oversight, biological waste handling). Practical experience providing general EHS support in pilot-scale and laboratory environments, including safety inspections, contractor oversight, emergency response support, and corrective action tracking. Relevant professional certifications preferred: CBSP/RBP, CIH, ASP/CSP, or equivalent. Note: certification requirements can be adjusted based on hiring needs. Experience preparing for and hosting regulatory inspections (e.g., OSHA) and drafting technical responses to regulatory inquiries. Experience utilizing specialized EHS data systems, incident tracking software, and occupational health databases. Required Skills: list: Biosafety, Data Analysis, Emergency Response, Employee Training, Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Management, Hazardous Materials Training, Incident Investigations, Industrial Hygiene, Industrial Hygiene Sampling, Occupational Safety and Health Programs, Optimism, Process Hazard Analysis (PHA), Process Safety, Professional Integrity, Safety Training Programs Preferred Skills: Current Employees apply HERE Current Contingent Workers apply HERE (these are application instructions, should be removed). Actually "Preferred Skills" list includes those lines? The posting shows "Preferred Skills Current Employees apply HERE Current Contingent Workers apply HERE". That seems like garbage; we should drop those as they are not real skills. The actual preferred skills maybe not listed; we can ignore. Pay: The salary range for this role is $96,200.00 - $151,400.00 This is the lowest to highest salary we in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. An employee’s position within the salary range will be based on several factors including, but not limited to relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, government requirements, and business or organizational needs. The successful candidate will be eligible for annual bonus and long-term incentive, if applicable. Benefits: We offer a comprehensive package of benefits. Available benefits include medical, dental, vision healthcare and other insurance benefits (for employee and family), retirement benefits, including 401(k), paid holidays, vacation, and compassionate and sick days. More information about benefits is available at https://jobs.merck.com/us/en/compensation-and-benefits. We should keep the link? Probably yes as it's substantive info. But we must not include application instructions; the link to benefits is okay. Other minor metadata: Relocation: No relocation, VISA Sponsorship No, Travel Requirements No Travel Required, Flexible Work Arrangements Not Applicable, Shift Not Indicated, Valid Driving License No, Hazardous Material(s) Potential exposure, Job Posting End Date 10/1/2026, A job posting is effective until 11:59:59PM on the day BEFORE the listed job posting end date. Please ensure you apply to a job posting no later than the day BEFORE the job posting end date. Requisition ID:R417247 We can fold location, posting end date, requisition ID into a short

  maybe under a heading? But we are only allowed to use headings from list; we could just put a

  at top with location and posting date. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it." So we can include a short

  with location, posting end date, requisition ID. We should not include the boilerplate about applying before date etc? That's also minor metadata; we could include it but it's somewhat instructional. Might be considered boilerplate? It's about application deadline; maybe we can keep as it's substantive? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The deadline info is application instruction? It says "Please ensure you apply to a job posting no later than the day BEFORE the job posting end date." That's application instruction; we should drop it. So we keep location, maybe posting end date? The end date is also somewhat instructional but could be considered metadata. Might keep as short note. Safer to drop application instructions entirely, keep location only. Thus we will output:

  Location: Rahway, NJ

  Then sections:

  About the role

  ... role overview text ...

  Responsibilities

  Impact And Responsibilities paragraph

  • list of primary activities
  But we need to separate Impact And Responsibilities and Primary Activities. Could combine under Responsibilities heading with paragraph then list.

  Qualifications

  Position Qualifications paragraph(s)

  Skills

  Maybe split into Required Skills and Preferred Skills? But we only have Skills heading allowed. Could include both required and preferred under Skills with subheadings? Not allowed to add other headings besides h3 for section headings. Could use

  to separate required and preferred. We'll put Required Skills list then Preferred Skills list (if any). The preferred skills list is mostly garbage; we can omit. We'll include Required Skills as

  • ...
  . Also we could include Preferred Experience And Skills as part of Skills? Might be better to have a separate section for Preferred Experience? Not in allowed headings. Could fold into Skills section as another

  heading? Not allowed. We'll just include Required Skills under Skills. But we also have Preferred Experience And Skills which is substantive; we could treat that as part of Skills as well, maybe under a

  heading "Preferred Experience". But not allowed. Could incorporate into Skills section as a paragraph before list. Given constraints, better to have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Pay, Benefits. Under Skills we can include both required and preferred experience and skills as separate

  paragraphs then lists. Let's craft. Responsibilities: need to include the Impact And Responsibilities paragraph and then list of Primary Activities. We'll extract Primary Activities list items: - Lead the implementation and continuous improvement of site Biosafety programs, policies, and standard operating procedures (SOPs). - Develop and deliver specialized biosafety training curricula (e.g., bloodborne pathogens and biological waste management). - Conduct comprehensive biological risk assessments for new research projects, material use, and pilot-scale processes. - Participate in industrial hygiene monitoring (airborne agents, chemical exposures, noise, etc.) and prepare reports pairing IH and biological risk mitigation strategies. - Provide hands-on oversight for biological containment systems, including Biosafety Cabinets (BSCs), laminar flow hoods, and custom containment engineering controls. - Perform routine laboratory safety audits, containment reviews, and technical coaching for laboratory personnel and contractors. - Actively support and participate in the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC), implementing site policies, reviewing biological risk assessments, and implementing committee directives. - Partner with the site on capital projects and facility modifications to ensure proper HVAC, pressure cascades, and waste systems are integrated into biological spaces. - Support management of change (MOC) reviews, incident investigations, and Process Hazard Analyses (PHA) involving biological and chemical hazards. - Provide technical guidance on the handling, inactivation, and disposal of biological and hazardous waste. - Support site emergency response planning for potential biological spills or exposure incidents. We'll put each as
